Home Tour: Master Bedroom After

30 December 2009

Here is our master bedroom when we first moved in to our Texas home:
Doesn't it look "master"? ;)



We replaced all the carpet in the house ASAP and painted the walls Kwal's "Crisp Khaki". I bought the comforter set from Walmart and put up some temporary window mistreatments, but wanted a little different look about a year later

Here it is now:
We replaced the ceiling fan, painted our cedar chest heirloom white, used our Target black furniture, turned the existing comforter over to the solid side and used most of the existing pillows, put the bed on risers for additional storage underneath, (didn't quite get to making the bedskirt longer did I?) and bought 2 cream embroidered shams at TJMaxx for 9.99 to give it more of a custom, not out of the bag look.
I found the fabric at an after summer crazy fabric clearance~it's actually outdoor sun and shade fabric, but it looks all the same and has a nice, heavy crisp feel to it.
I cut, ripped, hot glued some of the edges over, and used Nester's fold, clip and poof treatment at the top. I found the blinds on the windows for $5 each at a yard sale, so the fabric was purely to dress the windows, not cover them.

The headboard.

Again, I wanted a more custom look, and it didn't turn out exactly as I had imagined, but I'll tell you what I did and what I wish I would have done tomorrow. :)

Happy Wednesday!
